Bram Stoker's Dracula
Williams, 1993Williams WPC Bram Stoker's Dracula flipper's intermittently go dead during multi ball. Most times it's only for a second or two, other times, I have to reset the game with menu button to get power back. It does not occur often. Any suggestions welcome.

Sounds like you’re having a voltage drop. Have you checked 5 and 12 volt testing points on the power driver board?

Thanks, not yet, I will tomorrow.
I suspected low voltage as it only occurs during multi balls. But this is my first Fliptronic, WPC board set. So I figured I'd ask. 
Sending power driver and CPU boards into Chris Hibler for diagnostics and bullet proofing. I'm sure it needs to be done at this point and game is definitely worth it!

You cannot go wrong sending your PCB's to Chris Hibler. He is an absolute ace at what he does.

Yup, I've been watching all his videos on YouTube! Really top notch for sure!
Also check for cracked solder joints on the connector either flipper switch pcb. If one connection is cracked, both flippers can stop working at once. Had this exact issue on my fish tales. Reflowing the connectors solved it.

Thanks!! Will do!

Well, here is the finished result from Chris Hibler! Lucky I sent it in!
